Kraft pulp is the building block of many familiar and important products in our daily lives. Whether used in coffee filters, tissue or printing and writing paper, it is the key ingredient, adding distinctively high strength. Wood fibre, water, chemicals and heat are the essential elements for making kraft pulp.
